Our Animation Workshops will be taking place on the last Saturday of August and the first Saturday of September. This year there will be a selection of animations available. Tickets are being subsidised by Balerno Village Screen at £6 per ticket and tickets will go on sale via Eventbrite online booking on Monday 15th May. Visit the animation event page for more information.

Balerno Village Screen is organising 2D and 3D animation workshops over the weekends of the 5th & 12th of September.

The workshops will be delivered by animation specialist Animation Jam. The company helps people make animated films or cartoons. Prices, times and booking information can be found on our 2015 Animation Workshops page.

Th-th-that’s all folks for our 2013-14 spring season – we are taking a break for the summer and will return in the Autumn. Great to see so many regulars coming back for every show and also new faces giving our cinema a try.

When we come back in September we may have both screens working (we now have screens in the Ogston and St Jo’s Hall) with the best equipment thanks to your donations and grants from our main sponsors (RBS, City of Edinburgh Council, Scotmid). This will let us put on more great nights like The Angel’s Share.

We will have few more indie movies on Fridays and Blockbusters on Saturdays. Kids matinees will feature as ever and our children’s animation classes (which have just sold out this week) are running in August and September.

Our Autumn season commences in September when we will have Grand Budapest Hotel as an early screening. Look out too for the great film about The Undertones called Good Vibrations, playing as part of the Balerno Music Festival in October.

To keep up to date please follow us by email (link to the right) or follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Tickets for the new season should be made available in August. Have a great summer and see you in the Autumn.

After the fantastic success of our sell-out 2D animation workshops last year, this year Balerno Village Screen is organising 3D animation workshops for budding young animators. The 3D workshops are being delivered by award-winning animation specialists Red Kite and will take place on Saturday 30th August and Saturday 6th September 2014.

Amazingly, it is only a year since we thought it would be fun to show It’s a Wonderful Life to a few people in St Joseph’s Hall. And on Saturday afternoon, we finished our first year by doing it all over again to complete our first year as a community cinema.

In the past year, Balerno Village Screen has flourished to become a true Community Cinema in spite of ready access to local multiplexes just a few minutes away. We think that’s because we value the special atmosphere and convenience of the Village Screen. We’ve learned a huge amount over the year, and our ambition continues to push us to do more than simply show films. Continue reading →
